bullets and tab markers

M

Meg

I am working on a resume, there are bullets in the resume...when I look at it in word 2003 there are the bullets, but next to the bullets are what I think are the tab markers.....I don't want to see them. how on earth do I get rid of them? On this system (at work) I have word 2002 and it doesn't show up....any clues?

When I print it from the 2003 computer, there are no arrows next to the bullets. I've tried to view it in different views, I've customized and reset the bullets and I have shown and hid the Paragraph indicators.

Thanks for your help

What you are referring to are called nonprinting characters. See

Answered in a different newsgroup. Please do not multipost. In the Microsoft
Word newsgroups it is considered bad form to post separate messages to
multiple newsgroups. If you need to post in more than one forum (unusual)
please post a single message with both forums in the header of that single
message. That way (1) your question and the various answers stay together,
(2) less space is used on the news servers, (3) less bandwidth is used on
the Internet, (4) you only have to check one forum for answers that appear
in both forums, and (5) you won't unnecessarily annoy the people you are
asking for help. This isn't meant to criticize you. We were all beginners
once and the only way to learn is to try. (BTW, a number of the Microsoft
newsgroups don't want posting in more than one newsgroup, period. Check the
FAQ.)
